Americans are facing a savings crisis and older millennials might be finally catching on — or at least that's what the results of a new survey from GoBankingRates suggest.

Nearly twice the proportion of millennials aged 25 to 34 — compared with 18-to-24-year-olds — have $10,000 or more stashed away, the survey found. While 15% of the older bunch have at least that, only 8% of the baby-faced group have $10,000 or more.

That's a good sign, since older millennials certainly need to be saving more, but the overall picture is grim, the survey results showed.

Millennials — and Americans of all ages — are in big trouble. The majority have less than $1,000 saved up at all, the survey found.

Alas, that shortfall isn't getting better: Between 2015 and 2016, there was actually a 7% jump — from 62% to 69% — in the proportion of respondents who said they have less than $1,000 in savings.

More than 1 in 3 Americans have literally zero savings, while roughly another third has less than a grand, according to the survey.

But there were some silver linings in the survey, at least for older millennials.

The group aged 25 to 34 is actually a little better at saving the bare minimum than members of Generation X, aged 35 to 54: While 33% of older millennials said they have at least $1,000 saved, only 32% of young Gen X-ers and 30% of older Gen X-ers said the same.

Many financial planners recommend saving enough in a bare-minimum emergency fund that you'd be able to cover living costs for three to six months — which for most people means way more than $1,000.
